Q: How to change front rotors on a 2000 honda civic?
My husband has changed rotors on a 90 honda accord befor but never a 2000 civic, is there a big difference? I need new front rotors and new brakes how hard it that to do?

A: The front rotors will need to be hydraulically pressed onto the hub. The pads themselves are very easy to replace. If your husband has access to a press or has a press you can have this simple task done for about $100 USD. It should only take about 30-45 minutes as well.

Q: How many miles is a Honda Civic 2000 SUPPOSED to run?
So here’s the case.

I’ve got a Honda Civic Ex 2000 and I feel like i’m runnin a lot less mileage than it’s supposed to do. I did a little research online and found out that the average MPG is supposed to be about 31 32ish. After doing the caculation. it’s supposed to run about 308 miles for about 9.5G. But my actual mileage before the gas light comes on is about 200~215. I’ve been keepin track of this for the last 6 times i’ve filled up my tank so this should be fairly accurate.

Before I got my car, it had been sittin there for about 3 years without any proper preservation so that may be the problem… I’m wonderin if there’s any way I can fix that if anyone knows? I’m totally ignorant when it comes to car stuff… So if you guys can please help me out that’ll be great. If necessary, I can post up a picture of the engine so you guys can see what’s up. Person providing the most useful information will get chosen. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the quick replys. I just searched online and found out that the MPG for city is 28 and 35 for highway. Combined MPG would be 30. So my estimation for the mileage should be correct. As far as driving habbit goes, sometimes i do take some heavy steps to rush through traffic, causing RPM to go above 3 and the fuel meter decrease (which eventually increases back). Is that possibly the reason why im gettin less miles? Also, does constantly switchin from neutral to D2 affect my mileage or harm my engine in anyway?

A: On many Honda models, esp the civic’s, your fuel light comes on WAY early because they do not want you running out of gas. I had a 1999 Civic EX coupe and my milage varied based on where I was going. Long raod trips I have gotten just over 550 miles out of a tank of fuel, where in town with a little freeway here and there, I have gotten 2I50. I live in CA in CA and with all these environmental additves they add to fuel, it seems like it effects fuel milage. I have been getting horrible milage lately and have been for quite a few months now. I maintain my car to the max so it makes me believe it’s the fuel.
Having a vehicle sit for that long, 3 years is NOT good. I would contact a dealer service dept and see what they have to say. It’s a good place to start.

Q: Will a honda civic 2000 door fit a honda civic 2002 door?

A: is it possible you messed with a wire you shouldnt have?if its not a fuse then it sounds like it might be a bad ground.

Q: How can I change the clock in the radio of my Honda Civic EX 2000?
I bought a used 2000 Honda Civic EX a week ago, and I cannot figure out how to change the clock in the stock radio. I don’t have the owners manual and I cannot find instructions on how to do this. I tried pressing (and holding) some buttons but none of them worked so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

A: There are two different ways to set the clock depending on the radio you have. I think the first one below will be the one that does it but if it doesn’t, then try procedure #2

on the right side of your radio (to the right of the clock display) there should be a ’scan’ button. It should be the lower of two horizontal buttons and it should say ‘clock’ under it (the button may say scan/rpt or something else but it should be the lower of the two buttons). with the ignition key turned “on” so that the instrument panel lights and the clock are illuminated (you don’t need to start the car) and the radio OFF so only the clock is displayed, push in on the SCAN button and hold it in. While holding it in, push the #4 radio preset button (under the radio display) to change the hours and then release that button to ’set’ it when you have the right hours. Continue to hold the Scan button in and use the radio station preset button #5 to set the minutes. When the minutes are set, release the button and turn the key off. that’s all you need to do.

If the first procedure doesn’t work then use the fillowing:
on some later radios, you push in the Scan/rpt/clock button and hold it until it beeps. if you hear a beep when you are holding the scan button in, then you release the button and use the #4 and #5 buttons to set the time. when the correct time is set, then push the Scan button a second time and hold it until it beeps. when it beeps the time is set and you can turn the key off.
hope that answers your question

Q: What other engines would fit my 2000 honda civic if i wanted to engine swap?
Hi i am looking to engine swap my 2000 honda civic (coupe) and don’t know what other engines fit its body. Like what engines from other stock cars and/or and turbo or improved engines made for the civic are there?
thanks.

A: Any engine will fit any car. i have seen a CRX (really small honda) with a V8 in it. it was a beast. i would go with the K20 as well or second choice a B18, or H22. all three are great engines.

Q: Can a 2000 Honda Civic handle a HID kit without a relay harness?
I have a 2000 Honda Civic EX and plan on installing an 8000k HID kit. I have researched around and it is not necessary to have a relay harness, but there is a chance of making the stock harness stop working. For anyone that owns a 97-00 Civic, can your stock harness handle the HID kit without a relay harness?

A: Hey friend, an H.I.D kit consists of a set of ballasts (bulbs), wiring harnesses and ignitor boxes. In order for the kit to properly work on your vehicle, you have to have all three componets. There is no way around it. If you try to hardwire it into your current headlight harness, you can potentially fry your electrical system. Even cars like BMW, Benz, Range Rover whatever that have HIDs or Xenon lights have those three componets. Your working with your car here. Why shortcut something and risk destroying your project and transportation? Hope this helps happy tuning.

Q: What else to enhance the horsepower of a 2000 honda civic ex?
I have a 2000 honda civic ex coupe model. Its a manual transmission. I am trying to enhance the speed. So far, i have a short rim intake(aem brand) & a decent looking exhaust. I want to add headers to it also. What else can i do to it? Also, if anyone can knows of any websites where i can obtain info & get cheap prices. Thanks

A: You probally already know this, but remove any thing you can live without. spare tire,jack, glove box liner.any thing. loosing 100lbs is the same as gaining 10 hp. 10 FREE hp. Good luck.

Q: Can anybody please help me find my 2000 Honda Civic radio code?
I recently replaced the battery in my 2000 Honda Civic, and now the radio doesn’t work. The radio prompts me for a code to unlock the radio, but I don’t have the code. From what I’ve found searching online, this is a common problem.

I have searched all over my car for the code sticker, but all I could find is what I believe to be the radio serial number. Is anybody able to tell me my radio code from the radio serial number? M98N355810

Thank you!

A: Im a moderator for www.crvoc.com and we get that all the time, here is the link to honda’s retrieval site https://radio-navicode.honda.com/

just follow the prompts on their site and it should work, but im not sure i have not tried it, and i own a 2000 honda cr-v. but most likely the dealership will have it, or there should be a sticker inside your glove box, or so i have heard.

Q: How can I improve the speed and acceleration of my 2000 honda civic?
I own a stock 2000 honda civic and want to improve its speed and acceleration, what are the first things i should do?

A: it depends on your wallet really.
the best way to increase horsepower is to install a nitrous kit (aka NOS by some ppl)
another way is to install a supercharger or turbo charger into the car.
any of these methods should increase the total horse power of you car from 30-50%

another way is to do an engine swap. depending on what engine you currently have an engine swap might be a good way to increase your cars speed/power.

Q: Lost the key to my 2000 Honda Civic. How can I start it?
I want to sell my 2000 Honda Civic since the transmission no longer works, and I’ve lost the key. Some people have come by and asked me about the car, but I want to be able to show them that it works fine, other than the transmission. Is there anyway that I can turn the car on?

A: Go to the dealership with the VIN and proof of ownership (insurance card or title) and they can cut a new one while you wait. Runs about $15.00

Q: How do I get my 2000 Honda Civic alarm’s remote start to remain on?
I am installing a Carvox car alarm in a 2000 Honda Civic with remote start. Alarm works fine but remote start starts vehicle for 15 seconds and then the vehicle shuts off.

How do I get the vehicle to remain on? Is there a prob with wire connection? do I need to add a relay?
And the manual does not show any information on adjusting timing

A: read the manual there should be a set up for the timer.

Q: How do I install a rear bumper cover on a 2000 Honda Civic?
The rear bumper cover on my 2000 Honda Civic cracked (got hit from the rear lightly, which damaged the plastic nonetheless). Thanks in advance for any pointers!

A: Buy a Haynes Manual for a 2000 Honda Civic at an auto parts store.
It’ll give you instructions with illustrations on how to change out the rear bumper.

Q: how do you fix the power outlet under the radio in a 2000 honda civic?
I have a 2000 honda civic. My power outlet or my cigarette lighter, how ever you wanna call it, is not working. I plug in my cell phone charger and my gps charger in it and it does not work at all. Im wondering if it could be from a fuse that has gone out or something else.. If you know anything on how to fix it and how much it would be to get it fixed, please give me an answer.

A: The first thing you should check is the fuse…

Q: Where are the oxygen sensors located on a 2000 Honda Civic?
Firstly, let me apologize for the length of this question. But, I’m having trouble figuring out what to do. My fiancee has a 2000 Honda Civic. Her Check Engine light came on just recently. We hooked it up to a diagnostic machine that told us we had a/some bad oxygen sensors. The guy at the auto shop recommended a spray that is supposed to clean “gunk” of engine parts. He said if we spayed it and the light goes off, we have saved ourselves a lot of money. But, I don’t know where the sensors are in order to try it. I know very little about auto mechanics. So, if you know the answer, please state it as if you were speaking to a kindergartener. Thanks in advance for any help.

A: if you,ll look on the exhaust manifold and start following it down you,ll see the first one,then follow it down some more and you,ll see the second one,it should have two on it ,honestly what he old you wont really work on it though,when those go bad they have to be replaced,there’s no repairing them like he said,and even if it does make the light go off,you,ll have to get the trouble code erased,and i guarantee you it will come back on again,id just replace them and be done with it,that’s the best way to handle this,good luck with it.
